>Commit 0a28bfd4971f added a metadata_dst to each tx_sc, but that's only
>allocated when macsec_add_dev has run, which happens after device
>registration. If the requested or computed SCI already exists, or if linking to
>the lower device fails, we will panic because metadata_dst_free can't handle
>NULL.
